"This is a MUST OWN lens in the Nikon AF line. Not only sharp and fast, but my favorite perspective and CHEAP to buy! It's the best way to learn how ALL of the photojournalists in the 40s-70s shot EVERYTHING they printed."

"I keep this lens on my camera almost all of the time. This lens is great with such a wide range of zoom, so there is no real need to change lenses. It is lightweight and has quiet operation. The VR wasn't a huge selling factor for me, and I find that I don't use it hardly ever. All around, this lens is great and I recommend it!"
